Xu Lai waited for about ten minutes before finally seeing the familiar truck heading this way.

Once the truck came to a stop, Xu Lai saw Chen Cheng jump off the truck with three young men.

"Haha, girl, I knew I trusted the right person! Your efficiency is top-notch!"

Chen Cheng looked at the mountain of grain in front of him and couldn't stop smiling.

The three young men who came with him also looked delighted when they saw the grain.

"Following Brother Cheng really does bring good fortune!"

If you resell all that grain, you can make a lot of money!

Chen Cheng was even happier after hearing what his brothers said.

With this kind of high-quality rice, he can easily make a profit of two to three times the price per bag by simply finding a wealthy, long-time customer to sell it to.

Both the rice and flour are vacuum-packed, and their weights are fixed on the packaging bags, so there is no need to weigh them again.

Fifty bags of rice weighing fifty jin each, and sixty bags of flour weighing twenty jin each.

The three young men swung their arms and carried the loads, while Chen Cheng stood to the side, taking notes with a ledger and pen.

Finally, the potatoes and sweet potatoes were packed in bags. Since there was no weighbridge at this location, they had to be weighed manually.

The four of them worked for almost an hour before finally weighing the mountain of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"There are 21,520 jin of potatoes and 10,058 jin of sweet potatoes!"

Chen Cheng took out his phone, found the calculator in the utility app, pressed it for a while, and got the result.

"Girl, can you calculate this and see if the data is correct?"

Chen Cheng handed the ledger recording the quantity and weight of potatoes and sweet potatoes to Xu Lai, asking her to review it.

There were quite a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, so Xu Lai didn't dare to be careless.

Furthermore, this was her second transaction with this middleman. Although her first impression of him was not bad, she was not so trusting as to trust him completely.

Keep in mind that while she was waiting for this person to pick up the goods, she also had a handgun and bullets in her backpack.

One should always be wary of others; this is a lesson she learned from her incredibly painful past life.

Xu Lai took out his phone, opened his calculator, and checked the data recorded in the notebook. The final result was the same as that of the middleman.

"This data is correct!"

The price they agreed on for potatoes and sweet potatoes was six cents per pound, which was what they had initially agreed upon.

Xu Lai used the weight of the four types of grain in the ledger to calculate the work points earned from the sale.

Fifty bags of rice weighing fifty jin each earns 25,000 work points.

Sixty bags of flour weighing twenty jin each, earns 8,400 work points.

Twenty-one thousand five hundred and twenty catties of potatoes earned 129,120 work points.

One thousand and fifty-eight catties of sweet potatoes yielded sixty thousand three hundred and forty-eight work points.

The total is 222,868.

The price of gold remains at 10 grams of gold equals 1,000 work points, which amounts to 2,228.68 grams of gold.

Chen Cheng's mind raced. Twenty-eight and sixty-eight grams of gold was not easy to divide. With a wave of his hand, he discussed with Xu Lai, "Girl, how about I give you twenty-two 100-gram bars of gold directly, and give the remaining 868 work points to your work point card?"

Xu Lai wasn't inflexible. Although she was worried that the work point card system would collapse later, it was only just beginning to get on track.

He decided to keep the 800-plus work points at home for future use and nodded to Chen Cheng.

Seeing that Xu Lai agreed, Chen Cheng took out his keys, opened the cab of the truck, and took out a black handbag.

Then, he took out twenty-two 100-gram gold bars from his black handbag and showed them to Xu Lai for inspection before putting them into the backpack he was carrying on his chest.

In reality, as soon as these gold bars were put into the backpack, Xu Lai used her mind to place them into a cabinet in the spatial warehouse specifically for storing gold and other valuables.

After paying in gold, Chen Cheng counted out eight 100-point work point cards, six 10-point work point cards, one 5-point work point card, and three 1-point work point cards from his sling bag and handed them to Xu Lai.

After the large transaction was completed, Chen Cheng was about to leave with the three exhausted men who were leaning against the truck, panting heavily, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, take that lawnmower down here!"

Of the three, the darkest-skinned young man nimbly climbed onto the truck bed and took out a small backpack diesel lawnmower.

"When I went back at noon, I happened to find one of these in the warehouse. It's brand new, girl, take a look!"

Chen Cheng remembered that Xu Lai had mentioned wanting to buy diesel fuel. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "As for diesel fuel, it's a very scarce commodity right now. I'll call you as soon as I get it!"

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Chen!"

After exchanging a few polite words, Xu Lai took the lawnmower from Hei Zi and inspected it carefully.

The lawnmower was covered with a shock-absorbing membrane, which Xu Lai removed, and it was indeed brand new.

Actually, Xu Lai preferred a larger, hand-operated lawnmower.

However, considering that the available pasture is only two acres, a smaller one like this will do.

So he went straight to the point and asked the price: "Brother Chen, how many work points does this cost?"

Chen Cheng had just closed a big order and was feeling happy when Xu Lai asked for a price. He casually quoted a price.

"Two hundred work points will do!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lai felt as if this was a free gift to her.

So she took out two hundred-yuan bills from the stack of work point cards in her backpack and handed them to Chen Cheng with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Chen!"

After the day's transactions concluded and he said goodbye to Xu Lai, Chen Cheng and his three brothers got into a large truck and drove off in the direction they had come from.

Xu Lai took a bottle of mineral water from his spatial storage, filled it halfway, put the lawnmower back into his storage space, hopped on his electric tricycle, pulled up the brim of his sun hat, and headed to the community government supermarket.

She's going to ask the supermarket if they have EM bacteria that prevent the manure from smelling bad during fermentation.

Fortunately, the entire sewer system in City C has not yet been restored. To address the issue of waste disposal for residents in each community, the government's general supermarket also sells similar fermentation bacteria.

This stuff is sold cheaper in government supermarkets; you can buy a small pack for just one work point.

Xu Lai spent 300 work points to buy a whole big bag, which contained 300 small bags and would last a long time.

"This stuff is quite active, so if you buy so much, you'll need to store it at a low temperature!"

After handing Xu Lai a whole bag of fermentation starter, the staff patiently offered a reminder.

After thanking the staff, Xu Lai carried the large bag of fermentation bacteria out of the supermarket. While stuffing it under an old cotton coat in the back of the electric tricycle, he sent it into the space warehouse.

The temperature inside the space warehouse is much lower than the outside temperature.
